Part: 2
After surveying the entrances and exits (a habbit she always had) she went
inside. Dance music was pouring from multiple speakers. There were four
floors in the club and an outside dance area. Couples were dancing, drinking
at the bar, or just talking. She was about to ask if anyone had seen Dr.
Wells when she spotted a strange man sitting alone in the corner. He fitted
the picture that she found in the pamflet. She walked over and sat in the
empty seat beside him.
"Hello," Dr. Wells said observing Jessie.
"Hi," Jessie said with a flirtatious smile.
"And you are?"
"Amanda."
Dr. Wells took Jessie's hand and kissed the top of it. "Dr. Wells, but you
can call be James"
*Bingo!* Jessie thought to herself. "So, James, what brings you here
tonight?"
"Ah, the ordinary. I couldn't keep myself cooped up in that big house of
mine any longer. And you? What brings a beautiful lady like yourself here?"
"Oh, I just wanted to have some fun. Work is hard these days and I
barely have time for any fun." *Isn't that the truth.*
"Hmm.. Why are we sitting here just talking. Do you care to dance?"
"Love to," With that she let him guide her out to the dance floor. After a
few dances and blond woman with brown eyes came and tapped Dr. Wells on the
shoulder.
"James," she said with a heavy accent," We must go now. We have many
things to do."
"I'll be rigth there Liain," then he turned to Jessie, "My sister. Always
in a hury."
"Hmm. I know the type," Jessie gave him a smile. "Well, it was nice
dancing with you."
Jessie was leaving the danc floor when Dr. Wells stopped her. "I have
decided to host a party Saturday night. Would you like to come?"
"Sure. That's fine."
"Excellent. Go to this address Saturday night at eight," he handed her a
business card. "You can also bring some one to accompany you."
"Thanks. I'll be there. Bye,"
Dr. Wells went and kissed her on the cheeck. "Goodbye."
After he had left Jessie took the elevator to the fourth floor and took
the stairs to the roof. She took out her miny binoculars from her pocket and
surveyed the parking lot. After she spotted Dr. Wells she noted what car he
was driving. *A Porshe. Not bad.* She put back her binoculars. She decided to
stay on the roof a little while longer to enjoy the view. Her view was
interrupted by a hand on her shoulder.
In one quick movement she removed her gun from the holster on her leg and
turned arond. Her gun was aimed at the person behind her.
"Hey Jess. We're friends remeber?" the blond haired guy said.
Jessie gasped when she saw who her gun was pointed at. She recognized him
from the news and from her childhood.
"Jonny?" she asked still shocked.
"In the flesh," he said flshing his trade-mark grin.
Jessie went up and gave her friend a long hug. "How long has it been. Two?
Three years?"
"Try 6 years. What have you been up to lately?"
"Oh some stuff," she said bringing a finger up to her lips. Jonny took the
sign. "What about you Mr. Most Eligible Bachlor?"
"Oh, I see you've seen the news?"
"Can I go out with you....?" Jessie said sarcastically. "Please?"
"I'll see if I can pencil you in," Jonny said getting out a little black
book.
Jessie smiled and play punched Jonny on the arm.
"How bout catching up a bit?" Jonny proposed,"How 'bout coming to my house
for a snack or something."
"O.k. Sure thing."
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
Jessie looked around the one story house. It was huge considring it had a
poor, tennis courts and 7 bedrooms.
"Wow Jonny, you really know how to live it up huh?"
"Yeah, I guesss all of those hours infront of the computer did me some
good..." Jonny's head dissappeared into the cabinate. "Wine?"
"Sure..." Jessie said. When the wine was poured they headed into the
living room. It was a cream color with two couches. They sat down on one of
the couches and resumed their conversation.
"So, as I asked before what have you been up to lately?"
Jessie drank a sip of wine before answering," I'm with the service now.
You know, taking after dad."
"I see.... So do you enjoy your work?"
"Yeah, get to travel a lot and 'Save the World'. But at other times I
kinda wish I could take a long vacation."
"Then why don't you?"
"I can't. Every time I try something comes up. I can't just sit there
knowing that if I can't do something the world's going to end."
It was quiet a few moments. Jonny didn't know what to tell her. Jessie
spotted a picture on the glass table in the front of the room. She walked over
to it and picked it up.
"You still have this old picture?" she asked with a luagh. It had the whole
Quest team, Hadji, Jonny, herself, her farther and Dr. Quest. There were tall
trees in the background and they all had smiles on their faces.
"Yup. that was the best vacation that we ever took. Except when you pushed
me off the canoe and I plunged into the frigid water."
"That was becuase you said, and I quote,' I Jonny Quest can do anything. I
bet if I was to drop in the water, it wouldn't be cold at all.' I just wanted
to prove your theory."
"Uh huh. Sure."
Jessie placed the picture back onto the table. She sighed and spoke. "You
know. I miss those days. The whole family together. It was more fun than it
is now."
"Me too."
Jessie glanced at her watch. It was two thirty in the morning. "look, I
better get going now. Thanks for having me over. "
'You don't need to thank me. You're my best friend."
Jessie grinned and gave him a hug. She was about to go out the door when
she remebered something. "How would you like to go to a party Saturday?"
"Sure what time?"
"Um.. about 8:00."
"O.k. See you then. Call me before o.k.?"
"o.k."
